I think Perception/Aquaterra makes a rudder that would probably work on the Guillemont without a lot of modification other than a mounting hole. Theyre web site address is: http://www.kayaker.com....I didnt see the rudder listed on the page, so you probably will need to E-Mail them your inquiry-- but I know they sell them, as that is the rudder our local kayak shop retrofits rudderless boats with Steve
